Re: Heinz vs Daddie

As is the smell when stuck on Barton bridge over that sewage works.

I've worked there! Doing casual labour for an electricians in the summer between A level years. We were wiring up some bloody great diesel engines - working in the cellar underneath them in bollocking hot heat, using a great feck off hammer drill to drill holes in reinforced concrete. Its the hardest work I've ever done, and the stench was almost enough to put me off my butties.

I think it must have been that experience that put me on the path to freeloading white collar contract work.

I was the pig on Pipkins.

But it all comes out as soon as you say cream buns (kreeem boons) like the pig on pipkins

Lucifer, I didn't have you pegged as a Brummie...

Was born there, Slave. Lived there until I left home to go to university and then for a couple of years again in my early twenties when I had a Cobol gig in West Bromwich.

Most people who know me in real life are surprised too. I guess because I was brought up to speak proper like.

Re: Heinz vs Daddie

I used to work in Stockport, and drove past a McVities biscuit factory every day. Yum!:b

Re: Heinz vs Daddie

"I used to work near Stockport and part of the then M56 goes between Pataks Sauces on one side of the motorway and a sewage works on the other..."

and I know exactly where you mean. The smell on a hot summers day (not too often in Manchester) is something else.

Ah, Birmingham, city of a thousand smells.

Re: Heinz vs Daddie

And you could smell the Cadbury's factory from my bedroom window. Ah, Birmingham, city of a thousand smells.

Beats me why they didn't just pipe the curry straight into the sewage works and cut out the middle-man!

Re: Heinz vs Daddie

I put it down to driving past the HP sauce factory too many times as a lad... oooh, I can remember the smell even now.

Could have been worse...driving past the sewage treatment plant :x

Heinz vs Daddie

I think Daddies ketchup is much nicer than Heinz. Less sickly sweet and does actually taste as though some tomatoes might have been near it.

And yes, Slave, I started to worry myself as well. I put it down to driving past the HP sauce factory too many times as a lad... oooh, I can remember the smell even now.

Re: Well obviously I mean

southern tradesmen are viewed as devious and unreliable

Wonder why that is ...

Re: HP or Daddies

The funniest one is the Calgon adverts. We don't tend to have hard water in the North so we've no need for it. But it's sold to southerners using a supposed northern plumber. This is because (from market research) southern tradesmen are viewed as devious and unreliable, even by southerners! Check out the B&Q adverts and it's a similar story. It's advertising stereotyping at it's best!
